Garth Brooks is a divorced man. He has been for many years.
But the concern now is that, given the shocking new allegations against him, Garth will be divorced twice over.
For months there has been concern about his marriage, ever since Trisha Yearwood walked the red carpet at the CMT Awards alone.
Then, on October 3, 2024, a bombshell lawsuit came to light, with a woman claiming Garth actually raped her in 2019. It’s far from the first time this year that a beloved musician has been accused of stepping out on his marriage (cough — Dave Grohl — cough), but this is far worse than an affair.
Shortly thereafter, Garth canceled a concert and a scheduled Jimmy Kimmel Live! performance, seemingly in response to the allegations.
These are violent accusations against Garth. Can his marriage survive this? Here’s what we know so far.
Are Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood Still Together?
Everyone, take a deep breath: Garth and Trisha are indeed still together — for the time being.
Late last year, news broke that the beloved country star had been accused of sexual assault and battery by a woman who identified herself in a new lawsuit as one of the country star’s former hairstylists and makeup artists.
A copy of the lawsuit, obtained by CNN, explained that “Jane Roe” is accusing Garth of raping her during a work trip in 2019.
Immediately, there was widespread concern, given that Garth has been happily married to Trisha for nearly 20 years. He swiftly denied the claims in a lengthy statement to the public.
“I trust the system, I do not fear the truth, and I am not the man they have painted me to be,” he said.
But Trisha has yet to release any kind of statement, nor has she posted anything on social media about the accusations yet. But “yet” seems to be the operative word, given that, just a few days earlier, the couple were gushing about their love.
Their Love Story
Garth and Trisha made their first public appearance as a couple at the 33rd Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Awards Induction in New York City in 2002 after years of being friends.
Three years later, the pair were married and have been dutifully by each other’s side every day since.
